Of the new flats, 83 will be for sale and 15 for affordable housing. Two commercial units will also be built as part of the development, on the corner of Salamander Place and Fox Street.

The flats will also come with 96 parking spaces - 84 of which will be under the garden area. Four will be for affordable housing, three roadside spaces will be made available for the City Car Club and four will be there for visitors. There will also be 148 cycle stands with secure accommodation.

Greener Leith members previously spoke out against some of the aspects in the plans, proposed by C & W Assets, in this post.
